wine users - Jan 2012 - getting apps in wine to access a network computer

I've installed a windows application in wine. To use it properly, I need it
to access a server/pc on the network. How do I do this? Please help. I'm
using ubuntu linux 11.10?

Run the server on the same PC. Check that all is well by looking to see
that using nmap or lsof to see that the server is listening on the
expected port. "nmap localhost" lists the active ports. Running
"sudo
lsof" gives huge amounts of output, so try "sudo lsof |less" and
look at
the info under the server's name.  

When the server is running, simply configure your Wine app to look for
it on 'localhost'.

The PC or server needed to be accessed is on a network that runs windows xp and
the application that I'm trying to get to access the server application on
the network runs on a machine the latest ubuntu. I'm don't quite
understand what you mean, or where to go to what you mentioned. any step by step
way to get the windows app in wine to access the network pc? I'm a bit new
to this.

I've managed to get my windows server to access shared folders in linux
ubuntu and visa versa. But I still can't get wine to see and access the
network. I don't understand what is meant in the wine user guide under
network shares. Do I need to create folders? Is is possible for somebody to help
me via skype or maybe google voice for assistance?
